It’s my privilege and pleasure to pronounce the blessings of God upon your life for the month of February 2024! May you be lovingly and lavishly blessed by YAHWEH-SHALOM (THE LORD IS PEACE)! May you “remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive’” (Acts 20:35b)! May the Holy Spirit grant you the blessings of being sensitive to His voice through others and discernment to know how to respond appropriately when facing choices and challenging circumstances in life (Acts 21:4, 10-14)! May the LORD grant you the blessed privilege of relating to other believers what God has been doing among unbelievers through your service in such a way as to lead them to glorify God (Acts 21:19-20a)! May you experience divine timely intervention should you face danger and death while sharing the gospel and serving God’s purpose, even as Paul experienced it in Jerusalem (Acts 21:27-33)! May the LORD give you the opportunity of sharing your personal testimony before your persecutors, even as He did in Paul’s life (Acts 21: 37-22:21)! May the Lord Jesus Himself stand by you and personally strengthen, encourage and guide you in your trials for the cause of His gospel (Acts 23:11)! May the LORD providentially rescue you from the evil plots and ambushes of your enemies, in your service of Him (Acts 23:17-22)! May the LORD use all the personnel and resources at His disposal to preserve your life until His purpose for your life is accomplished (Acts 23:23-35)! May the Holy Spirit empower you to speak of Christ when you are brought before rulers and kings and those in authority (Acts 24:10-21; 26:2-23)! May the LORD also grant you His favor in the sight of rulers and those in authority to deal kindly with you (Acts 24:23)! May the LORD grant you the help that comes from Him to testify before rulers and kings and those in authority when you are brought before them for the sake of His gospel (Acts 26:22)! May the LORD supernaturally encourage you in your trials in life in order to encourage others in their trials (Acts 27:21-25; 33-36)! May the LORD strengthen your faith in Him in your trials, so that you can also declare with all confidence and conviction of heart: “I have faith in God that it will be exactly as I have been told” (Acts 27:25; ESV)! May the LORD grant you safe passage through your “storms in life” (Acts 27:44-28:1)! May the LORD grant you His favor so that strangers, who do not even know you; will show you extraordinary kindness and hospitality (Acts 28:2, 7)! May the LORD be pleased to release His supernatural power through your prayer and laying of hands on the sick to heal them of their sicknesses and diseases (Acts 28:8-9)! Yes, may the LOVING FATHER, who so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him, should not perish, but have eternal life (John 3:16), lovingly and lavishly bless you in the month of February 2024!
